Against the Grain Radio: Militant Tactics Against the Right

We re-post this interview which includes a Twin Cities General Defense Committee member discussing anti-fascism, the history of Anti-Racist Action, and the perspective of IWW ‘s GDC.

In the aftermath of the shutdown of far right celebrity Milo Yiannapoulos at UC Berkeley, there’s been much debate among progressives and leftists about the use of militant tactics against the right. Some of the questions under contention are whether militant tactics bring down repression on the most vulnerable, and whether free speech—even for fascists—is sacrosanct. Undocumented UC Berkeley student Juan Prieto talks about why he supported the shutdown. And Kieran discusses the history of the group Anti-Racist Action and makes the case for mass militant organizing and action.
